Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/3 cups dark chocolate chunks
- 1 1/3 cups milk chocolate chunks
- 90 g milk chocolate
- 90 g dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Fill one empty cup halfway with water.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss some chocolate chunks into the mixture, setting aside some for topping.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 11 liners, filling each about 3/4 full, and press the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Once the muffins are slightly cool, cut a small hole in the center of each muffin and remove the core.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the remaining chocolates and heavy cream in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth to create the ganache.
- Using a piping bag, fill the centers of the muffins with the ganache until slightly overflowing, and allow to set before serving.
Notes
For an extra chocolatey flavor, make sure to use high-quality chocolate chunks.
These muffins are best served warm after adding the ganache filling.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them moist.
